Teach For Armenia
FIVE YEARS OF IMPACT
THE JOURNEY
Five years ago , Teach For Armenia ( TFA ) began with an ambitious mission to radically transform Armenia ’ s public education system through teacher leadership . Since then , a movement has grown made up of a dedicated team of individuals , organizations , and companies which have joined our cause to ensure that educational opportunity reaches every child across our nation .
Today in Armenia , where you are born often dictates the outcome of your life .
Due to the educational inequity that exists in Armenia , tens of thousands of children are not equipped with the skills to pursue higher education or professional experience that would allow them to improve their life circumstances . Children in remote and economically underserved areas do not receive the same educational opportunities as their wealthier peers . This disparity exacerbates Armenia ’ s most pressing social and economic problems , trapping families and entire communities in a desperate cycle of poverty and dependency that has continued for decades , limiting the country ’ s development .
We seek to change this .
Ending these cycles requires a systemic solution . We must not only develop and support students today , but cultivate a movement of changemakers for the future . TFA recruits the most promising and motivated candidates from Armenia and the Diaspora to teach and lead in underserved schools and communities across Armenia and Artsakh for an initial commitment of two years .
